| Paraphrased summary of comments made by prisoner and/or others: |
| The current conviction was evidenced by Shane standing about 30 feet distance from a friend who was transacting a $20 |
| cocaine sale. Shane was found guilty by a jury of aiding and abetting and received a 25 years to life sentence. The person who |
| conducted the sale was found guilty and received a four year sentence of which he was able to leave prison after two years. The |
| prior strikes were conducted by Shane on his own mother's home and some neighbors. When Shane's mom suspected that |
| Shane was the person who committed the burglaries (worth less than $1,000), she practiced "tough love" and made Shane turn |
| himself in--hoping that he would get drug treatment for his addiction. Shane did not receive any treatment, however. |
